Dry Dry Ruins is a desert-like course and the first course found in the Special Cup in Mario Kart Wii. It is revealed to be Yoshi's track due to three Yoshi sphinxes located in the track.

Track Layout

There are Pokeys here scattered across the track. There is also a lot of sand here that slow racers down. Some pillars here fall down from time to time which racers can do aerial tricks on them. You go inside a ruins site. There are bats all over and Pokey hieroglyphs on the walls. Inside, the music changes and there are some halfpipes. There is a giant bowl with two Pokeys in it. Sand slowly falls and fills it up, forcing racers to take a longer route in the third lap. This place resembles Dry Dry Desert and Desert Hills from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart DS as all three are desert courses.

Shortcuts

For the first and second laps: use two mushrooms. For the final lap: use one. By the Third Lap, there is a column that has fallen over towards the first set of Pokeys . You need to avoid the bridge and use the mushroom there.
